Is postpartum weight
gain any worse than
other weight gain?
Or is being, say, 20
lb overweight 3-mo
or 1-yr postpartum
equally risky to
being 20 lb
overweight unrelated
to pregnancy? How
are postpartum
metabolic issues
best remedied?
Obviously, if weight
gain is diet and
(lack of) exercise
related, the answer
is better diet with
fewer calories and
more exercise. But
if diet and exercise
are excellent and
metabolism crashes
postpartum anyway?
Then what?!.

This survey is a poll of those who choose to participate and are, therefore, not valid statistical samples, but rather a snapshot of what your colleagues are thinking.
